Pinewood Derby

The CAR!!

This is what all the other cars got to see;)

Because I am finally figuring this blogging thing out, I need to get a little caught up. (At least make it look even because if Wyatt reads this he will wonder where he is:)). We had our Pinewood Derby last month for Wyatts pack. He and Andy worked VERY hard on getting this car done. Poor Andy had all kinds of stress on this car. This being Wyatts first Pinewood Derby and both of Spencers cars receiving 1st place. But they decided they didn't care how well the car did, they just wanted to have fun making the car. They did a Lightning McQueen look (since that is ALL the rave at our house with Dallin). It looked great when they were finished!

Each car at the Rally got to race 8 times. The track was a digital track, so there were no judges having to decipher first, second, third... the computer did it all down to the 100th of a second. Each car would get points for each race, 4th place 1 point, 3rd place 2 points, and so on, making it a possibility to get 32 points total if you were to get 1st every race. Wyatts car got 31 points overall. Making him the winner in his pack as well as the overall winner. He is our sensitive child. So it took us a few days to get out of him if he was excited at all, he didn't want his friends to feel bad that they didn't win, so he just got his certificate and was ready to leave. No smiles or nothing! Funny kid!!! A few days later we asked him if he even cared that he won... He said "OH YEAH!! THAT WAS AWESOME!!!" Gotta love him!
